Publisher : An immediate success when it was first published in 1653, Walton’s classic celebration of the joys of fishing continues to captivate anglers and naure lovers with its timeless advice and instruction. Originally cast in the form of a dialogue between an experienced angler named Piscator and his pupil Viator, the book details methods for catching, eating and savring all varieties of fish, from the common chub to the lordly salmon. More than an engaging guidemto the subtle intricacies of the sport, Walton’s reflective treatise is a graceful portrait of rural England that extols the pleasures of country life.
